Oakland Federal Building
February 27th, 2021
Massive, beautiful STREET MURAL in Oakland, CA., sponsored by Idle No More SF Bay, Climate Justice Street Mural Project, Distributed Sound Collective, 1,000 Grandmothers for Future Generations and East Point Peace Academy.
From the organizers:
"We are here to protect the water, climate and communities in solidarity with indigenous-led movements fighting the Line 3 and (DAPL) Dakota Access Pipe Lines. We call on the Biden/Harris administration to cancel these pipelines and to Build Back Fossil Free-- to end the era of fossil fuel production, and protect communities reeling from the climate and COVID-19"
The big message was "STOP LINE 3 & DAPL \\ BUILD BACK FOSSIL FREE" with 12 groups painting their own visions for future generations.

Teaching Collaborative Summer Session at the Ford Motor Company Robotics Building on the North Campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on Thursday, June 29, 2023.
Participants from Berea College, Howard University, Kennesaw State University, and Morehouse College spent the final week of June at the University of Michigan College of Engineering Robotics Department participating in the Distributed Teaching Collaborative Summer Session in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The program, which began with the new Robotics 101 course in Fall 2020 being remotely taught to Morehouse and Spelman College students, enables instructors from different institutions, including Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs), to benefit from open-source resources available for new course development at R1 institutions. This collaboration provides students from HBCUs and MSIs with access to cutting-edge robotics education and helps promote equity in STEM fields.
In March of this year Robotics PhD student Jana Pavlasek and Professor Chad Jenkins were awarded the Claudia Joan Alexander Trailblazer Award for their work developing the new course for undergraduate students, Rob 102: Introduction to AI and Programming. Their commitment to creating opportunity in AI and Robotics continues to extend beyond the University of Michigan. In Fall 2023, Robotics 102 will be offered in this collaborative distributed format to the partner schools. This initiative will help to provide equitable opportunities for students from diverse backgrounds to learn and grow in the field of robotics.

Wednesday, 1 April 2015: Lokpa (2240 m) to Chumling (2385 m)
Only a half day today, but still an early start. A walk along rhododendron-lined path, dropping down to a tea house by the bridge across the Sardi Khola (a long bridge, a deep gorge and the river a long, long way below = wobbly legs for me!), before zig zagging back up high again, shaded by pine forest, and to the village of Chumling.
A short way from the gompa and chorten - in true Tsum now, totally Tibetan - we set up camp by the stone-built weaving sheds where some of the village ladies were trimming their newly woven aprons. Green fields of barley, and a lovely welcome-with-a-flower from two small children.
As word spread of our arrival, villagers from far and wide arrived to ask for an LED solar light for their home. Leaving Hazel, Anthony and the trek crew to relax for the afternoon, Val, Namgyal and I headed off with a young guy from lower Tsum as our guide to distribute lights to the families in Tharung - a handful of farmhouses set amidst barley fields clinging to the steep mountain slopes of the river valley “just around the corner”. A lot of up and down! A fantastic afternoon - very special welcomes, with invitations to take some Tibetan butter tea and very heartfelt thank yous.
In bed by 8pm - not unusual on trek!

9 May 2012 - The United Nations has distributed humanitarian aid to 175 internally displaced families in the northern province of Balkh who were forced to leave their home due to ongoing drought and insecurity. The families from Tandorak village in the Charkent district are currently living in the Nasaji area of Mazar-e Sharif.
“We left our homes due to insecurity and unemployment and now we do labour work,” said Mohammad Akbar.
“The Taliban started infiltrating our villages and government forces conducted counterinsurgency operations, night raids, planes, bombs made us leave the area,” he added.
Many families in Charkent migrated to the cities abandoning their homes and families when their crops failed due to a lack of rain-fed farming last year. Some have been living in Mazar-e Sharif for nearly five months.
The UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) together with its governmental counterpart – provincial department of repatriation and refuges, distributed yesterday aid donated by UNHCR, World Food Programme (WFP) and International Organization for Migration (IOM).
Each family package included blankets, plastic sheets, cooking supplies, gas cylinders, gas containers, soap, a metal bucket, beans, oil and salt.
“I am the only supporter of a family of seven members and I am thankful to the UN for this assistance,” said Amrullah, adding that he hoped for more aid. “I do labor work for 250 AFN (equivalent to USD 5 ) per day and it’s hard to manage supporting a seven-member family on that amount.”
UNHCR has assisted over 1000 IDP families with humanitarian aid since the beginning of this year in the north and northeastern provinces of Balkh, Jawzjan, Faryab and Kunduz and is planning to assist hundreds more vulnerable IDP families in coming weeks in the same region.

En novembre 2022, ONU Femmes a visité le village de Kwakwa, au Kongo Central, avec le RENAFER (Réseau National des Associations de Femmes Rurales de la République Démocratique du Congo), une organisation recevant un financement d'ONU Femmes à travers le programme PADMPME.
Depuis 2020, le programme PADMPME d'ONU Femmes s'est associé à RENAFER pour autonomiser économiquement les femmes rurales à travers la RDC. Dans le village de Kwakwa, plus de 200 femmes bénéficient de ce partenariat. Elles reçoivent des formations sur la transformation des produits agricoles locaux, l'éducation financière, l'autonomisation des femmes et l'éradication des violences basées sur le genre.
Depuis le début du projet, les maraîchers ont commencé à créer leurs propres coopératives et à formaliser leur activité, fuyant le secteur informel. Elles produisent des chips de plantain, de la farine de manioc, du miel, des légumes, des chips de noix de coco et d'autres produits qui sont distribués dans la région par RENAFER.

Since 2020, UN Women's PADMPME program has partnered with RENAFER to economically empower rural women across the DRC. In the village of Kwakwa, more than 200 women benefit from this partnership. They receive training on the processing of local agricultural products, financial education, women's empowerment and the eradication of gender-based violence.
Since the start of the project, market gardeners have started to create their own cooperatives and formalize their activity, fleeing the informal sector. They produce plantain chips, cassava flour, honey, vegetables, coconut chips and other products which are distributed in the region by RENAFER.

Stringybark
There's the Whitebox and pine on the ridges afar,
Where the Iron-bark, Blue-gum, and Peppermint are;
There is many another, but dearest to me,
And the king of them all [is] the stringy-bark tree.
Then of stringy-bark slabs were the walls of the hut,
And from stringy-bark saplings the rafters were cut;
And the roof that long sheltered my brothers and me
Was of broad sheets of bark from the stringy-bark tree.
And when sawn-timber homes were built out in the West,
Then for walls and for ceilings its wood was the best;
And for shingles and palings to last while men be,
There was nothing on earth like the stringy-bark tree.
Far up the long gullies the timber-trucks went,
Over tracks that seemed hopeless, by bark hut and tent;
And the gaunt timber-finder, who rode at his ease,
Led them on to a gully of stringy-bark trees.
Now still from the ridges, by ways that are dark,
Come the shingles and palings they call stringy-bark;
Though you ride through long gullies a twelve months you’ll see
But the old whitened stumps of the stringy-bark tree.

Bird of prey - Golden eagle - Tonka
The Golden Eagle is one of the largest, fastest, nimblest raptors in North America. Lustrous gold feathers gleam on the back of its head and neck; a powerful beak and talons advertise its hunting prowess. The golden eagle is one of the best-known birds of prey in the Northern Hemisphere. It is the most widely distributed species of eagle.
Sometimes seen attacking large mammals, or fighting off coyotes or bears in defense of its prey and young, the Golden Eagle has long inspired both reverence and fear.
The golden eagle is a very large, dark brown raptor with broad wings, ranging from 26 to 40 inches in length and from 6 to over 7ft wingspan!
The voice of the golden eagle is considered weak, high and shrill, even being emphatically described as “quite pathetic” and “puppy-like”, considering the formidable size and nature of the species, "Silent but deadly"
The golden eagle is not threatened at the species level but efforts need to be taken to prevent extinctions . Within the United States, the golden eagle is legally protected by the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. (see below for additional info)*

*The Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act:
The Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668-668c), enacted in 1940, and amended several times since then, prohibits anyone, without a permit issued by the Secretary of the Interior, from "taking" bald eagles, including their parts, nests, or eggs. The Act provides criminal penalties for persons who "take, possess, sell, purchase, barter, offer to sell, purchase or barter, transport, export or import, at any time or any manner, any bald eagle ... [or any golden eagle], alive or dead, or any part, nest, or egg thereof." The Act defines "take" as "pursue, shoot, shoot at, poison, wound, kill, capture, trap, collect, molest or disturb."

Out of the Archives: On July 4, 1842, Croton water began flowing into the Distributing Reservoir at Murray Hill. Some 25,000 visitors climbed the steps to the top of the reservoir that day to see for themselves, while downtown at City Hall the Mayor and City Council celebrated with Croton cocktails: Croton water over ice with a slice of lemon! Throughout planning and construction, it was very important to the city for the reservoir to open on Independence Day. So on this July 4th we also celebrate 182 years of the best water in the world!
(Need some orientation? We're facing south. The New York Public Library Schwarzman Building and Bryant Park now occupy the former sites of the reservoir and Crystal Palace on its right. Visit the library to see part of the surviving reservoir wall. This 1855 print is from the NYPL Digital Collections, Image ID ps_prn_cd11_166.)

The white-backed mousebird (Colius colius) is a large species of mousebird. It is distributed in western and central regions of southern Africa from Namibia and southern Botswana eastwards to Central Transvaal and the eastern Cape.
This mousebird prefers scrubby dry habitats, such as thornveld, fynbos scrub and semi-desert.
This bird is about 34 cm (13.5 in) long, with the tail comprising approximately half the length, and weighs 38–64 g (1.3–2.3 oz). The upper parts, head, prominent crest and breast are grey apart from a white back stripe flanked by two broad black stripes and a dark red, or maroon, transverse band at the base of the tail. The white is not visible unless the wings are at least partly open, such as when the birds are alighting, or sometimes in hot weather. The belly is buff in colour. The bill is bluish white with a black tip, and the legs and feet are red.
The speckled mousebird can be distinguished from this species by its differently coloured beak, legs and upperparts.
The white-backed mousebird is a frugivore which subsists on fruits, berries, leaves, seeds and nectar. It also will feed on the buds of some plants, sometimes to the extent of stripping the branches of ornamentals such as fiddlewoods. Its feeding habits make it very unpopular with fruit farmers and domestic gardeners, which might be why it is very shy as a rule. When it spots a human it either sits quietly in a tree or takes off immediately. Sometimes it will settle on lawns when the grass is flowering and feed on the grass stigmata and stamens. In the wild its fruit-eating habits are an important factor in disseminating seeds of indigenous berry-producing plants such as Halleria lucida. However, it also spreads the seeds of invasive aliens such as Cotoneaster.
In handling mousebirds the tail should be avoided, as the long retrices come out so easily as to suggest that it is a sacrificial defence mechanism.
This is a markedly social bird, with small groups of presumably related birds feeding together and engaging in mutual preening. It roosts in groups at night. Its perching habits are amusingly parrot-like; it often almost hangs from its legs rather than squatting on them like most birds, and commonly with each leg gripping a different upright branch.
These sedentary birds may breed at any time of the year when conditions are favourable. The nest is a large cup well hidden in a thicket. Nestlings are fed by both parents and also by helpers, usually young birds from previous clutches.
The white-backed mousebird has a whistled zwee-wewit call. It also has a buzzing or crackling call that might be for alarm or keeping in contact with the group. Wikipedia
Hizmet Relief distributes hot meals in Haiti after the earthquake.
Hizmet Relief sent 119 volunteers to help the victims of the earthquake in Haiti. Hizmet Relief was the first organization to distribute food after the earthquake. Volunteers distributed hot meals to 1000 people each day for 30 days. Because of the earthquake many people were left homeless. Hizmet Relief distributed tents, blankets and clothes.
15 doctors attended this vital campaign and gave medical help to the injured. Hizmet Relief strongly believes that the impact moment is the time when the help is most needed but in order to help people in need for a long duration of time futuristic projects should be brought to life. Hizmet Relief and Kimse Yok Mu built a medical clinic. The clinic is planned to be in operation in the next year.
